Very good food and good service!!

We loved having Sydney as our server. She is so friendly, and gave us great service. The food was delicious and had a beautiful presentation. We highly recommend MST and we will def be back!

Wow ? the omelets are crazy delicious. The pancakes were so fluffy and flavorful. We found this place on Google maps while in town for a wedding. The reviews talked about a server named Tre. Well spot on we were lucky to get him. Great down to earth and fabulous recommendations on the menu. He was great to talk with like you knew each other for years. Oh did I mention the omelet with mushroom,goat cheese and Brussel sprouts! Oh yeah that was one of the best ever! Get over and check this place out you will not be disappointed! 5 plus ? ? ? ? ? +!

Great place! Wonderful food… best onion rings in town! Excellent service!! Loved it!

I almost gave up with trading when I met MRS vanessa raymond through a friend who directed me to her. She is a reliable trading expert,trusted with a legit trading platform. I started my first trade with just $1000 and earned $9600 in 7days and now amazingly, I am already trading in thousands of dollars. ma, I want to say a very big thank you for restoring and increasing my bankroll when I was totally bankrupted by Fake experts out there. I won't get tired recommending your honesty and reliability to the public because you deserve more of this for your honest works. To my friends and acquaintance, don't be exceptional.

MST has a fun and casual energy with a very trendy aesthetic. We were really excited to go and as always with new restaurants, we try to order as much as we can to really scope out the menu.To start we got the fried bologna sandwich, brussels, chips and dip, and squash. All four were excellent and really made us excited for our entrees! Most of my table got burgers and I got the fried chicken. I tried my partner’s burger and found it pretty bland and the fries were lack luster. I was bummed to note that my chicken also wasn’t great. Nothing to write home about the the sauces were nothing special. I actually really disliked the Korean sauce.We also ordered drinks, which were good. I got a lavender drink that was pretty decent but honestly much too sweet.We ended with dessert and found out oatmeal pie was on the menu that day and ordered it a la mode. I figured this would be served warm and be a little more savory but neither were true. This pie was super super sugary and with it being cold it didn’t really make the ice cream notable. Overall, really enjoyed the first half of our meal but didn’t care for the second half. Probably wouldn’t go back for entrees but maybe for their happy hour and appetizers.

Great food, great service!!! Highly recommend !

First time here but definitely won’t be the last. Jasmine was our server, she was very attentive. The menu is small but full of a lot of flavor. Great place!!

I got the grilled hanger steak and my wife had a fish special.The steak was a little on the rare side, but tasted good. The chips that came with it were also good, but there weren't very many. The other items on the plate tasted off, not like they had gone bad, but they were not very good.My wife said the fish was good, but they used way too much of the sauce, which detracted from the fish. Her mac and cheese was also good, but the vegetables and mashed potatoes were not great.Overall, the food was pretty good, but definitely not as good as expected given the price. We will not likely return here

Do order their pancakes! Tried the lemon curd flavor and it was amazing. Super friendly staff even though full still very attentive.
